Sorry, no link to some ‘news’ article. /s

I’m a newcomer myself, but it seems my feed is just filled with low-effort news links with no other content. It’s c/mildlyinfuriating at this point. Maybe moderators outside of communities that are specifically for current events could require at least an effort by the op to add some of her own thoughts?

"Lemmy" != A single instance where all content is the same format and without discussion (federated thinking is almost as hard as having the tools). Also patience, we're on the bleeding edge of something here. Pretend its 2000 again.

Yeah I am referring to my federated feed of multiple communities spread across multiple instances. But whatever.

You need to curate your feed just like on Reddit. It'll take a bit of time but my feed has a ton of lively discussion now.

It might also be worth checking out beehaw - they're not federated with my instance (Lemmy.world) but I think their news communities have a lot of comments.

they're federated with lemm.ee, if you don't wish to sign-up to beehaws closed garden directly.

Also check out that post I linked you :)
